ORA-15000 when Connect to ASM with ASMSNMP

With ASM of 11g2 on Redhat 5, I tried to connect the instance with ASMSNMP but failed[grid@cchordrdb admin]$ sqlplus / as sysasm
SQL> conn asmsnmp/asmsnmp@ASM
ERROR:
ORA-15000: command disallowed by current instance typeIs this a problme or normai?

Normal/expected,
You have 2 options. Or via OS autentication (I guess in your case login as grid user and sqlplus / as sysasm) or via password file (connect usu/pwd@inst as sysasm).

    ORA-19007 when coping a table with an xml type in it to a new schema in the same database.
    Hi all,
    When I copy a table with an xml type in it to a new schema in the same database I get an ora-19009.

    Can some one point me in the right direction how to solve this error.
    Thanks Roelof.

    Who did you create the second table, in other words, how did you COPY the table as you said...
    If you created the second table via a CTAS (create table as select) then you will have created a table that is not the same as the original one. AFAIK I have once created an enhancement request for this after discovering that JDeveloper, for example, creates a "copy" via a CTAS which creates the wrong structure. Double check via package DBMS_METADATA.
    SQL> set long 1000000
    SQL> select DBMS_METADATA('TABLE','TABLE_WITH_XMLTYPE','SchemaA') from dual;
    SQL> select DBMS_METADATA('TABLE','TABLE_WITH_XMLTYPE','SchemaB') from dual;If you have got two different tables, than Mark's solution should help.

    How do I get audio from the TV when connecting MacBook Pro with all the correct cables?

    Hi Lynn,
    If you're positive you have the correct cables, and positive they work, they must be plugged into an input on the TV made for that purpose, then that input must be selected on the TV's menu.

  • ORA-12546 When connecting without specifying sid in connect string

    I am currently having a difficult time connecting to an Oracle 9.2.0.4 database running on Red Hat Linux.
    I can successfully connect to this database with sqlplus as oracle whether a sid name is included in the connect string or not. I can also successfully connect to the instance through jdbc with jsp pages. However when I try to connect as root without specifying the sid I get an ORA-12546 TNS: Permission denied. I also receive this error when attempting to connect to the instance through php scripts. Note that root can connect through sqlplus with no problem as long as the sid is included in the connect string. Also note that the oracle user can connect either way.
    I turned on tracing and found that this error is occurring before it even gets to the listener as no log or trace entries are generated when the error occurs.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

    did you set the parameter TWO_TASK ?

    Which OS are you using? are you using the base version 8.1.6? Try upgrading to 8.1.6.3.1 on both the server and clients. or try setting
    sqlnet.authentication_services=(none)
    in your sqlnet.ora file.

  • Possible to select self-signed certificate for client validation when connecting to VPN with EAP-TLS

    In windows 8.2, I have a VPN connection configured with PPTP as the outer protocol and EAP : "Smart card or other certificate ..." as the inner protocol. Under properties, in the "When connecting" section I've selected "Use a certificate
    on this computer" and un-checked "Use simple certificate selection".
    My preference would be to use separate self-signed certificates for all clients rather than having a common root certificate that signed all of the individual client certificates. I've tried creating the self-signed certificate both with and without the
    client authentication EKU specified, and I've added the certificate to the trusted root certificate authority store on the client. But when I attempt to connect to the VPN I can not get the self signed certificate to appear on the "Choose a certificate"
    drop down.
    Are self signed certificates supported for this use in EAP-TLS? If it makes a difference, I'm working with makecert (not working with a certificate server).
    TIA,
    -Rick

    Hi Rick,
    Thank you for your patience.
    According to your description, would you please let me know what command you were using to make a self-signed certificate by tool makecert? I would like to try to reproduce this issue. Also based on my experience, please let me
    know if the certificate has private key associated and be present in the local machine store. Hence, please move the certificate from the trusted root certificate authority store to personal store.
    Best regards,

  • ORA-01031 WHEN CONNECTING TO AUXILIARY DATABASE

    Hi
    i am currently trying to to create a standby database using RMAN using the ORACLE RMAN Backup and recovery book.
    I get the ORA-01031 when i connect to the auxiliary database.

    RMAN > connect auxiliary sys/password@aux1
    ORA-01031.............insufficient privileges
    obviously the database aux1 hasnt been created yet but i have configured the tns and listener and both work fine, also created a password file and created a pfile from the spfile in the primary database as instructed by the book. I also started the aux1 database in nomount mode as well.
    does any one have any ideas where i maybe going wrong?
    thanks

    conn sys/pwd@aux1 as sysdba ,what happens to this
    in sqlplus
    add an entry to your TNSNAMES.ora
    SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NTS)

  • I cannot print to my photosmart 7510 when connected to work with VPN

    When I try to print to my printer while connected to VPN, I get an error that the software could not communicate with my printer. The IT department where I work has configured the VPN so that traffic to my local LAN is allowed (does not go through the tunnel). I had no problem printing to my old printer when connected with VPN (old printer was a photosmart 2510 connected via wireless network).
    These symptoms lead me to believe that the printer software is attempting to connect to the internet when I send a print job to my local printer. Why is it doing that? What settings do I need to change to make it stop so that I can print while connected with VPN?

    But I don't understand why the internet connection that my printer has comes into play when I'm sending a print job from my PC to my printer over my local network. I am not using the web services at all for that particular function.
    At least I shouldn't be - I don't know what the HP print software installed on my PC is doing under the hood. The software shouldn't have to access the internet to send a print job locally. Nor should my printer have to access the internet in order to receive the print job from my PC.
    What exactly is the printer or the print software accessing the internet for when I send a print job from my PC to my printer over my local network?

    How to resolve this error....
    Regards,
    Lisa
    Edited by: Lisa Yanti on Feb 14, 2008 9:35 AM

    I was resolve this error by my self.
    We can handle this error with registering our current IP and host name on /etc/hosts.
    example:
    content of /etc/hosts:
    127.0.0.1 localhost
    127.0.1.1 myhost.workgroup
    The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
    ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
    fe00::0 ip6-localnet
    ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
    ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
    ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
    ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
    added the ip and host name to be like this configuration
    127.0.0.1 localhost
    127.0.1.1 myhost.workgroup
    172.20.17.74 myhost
    The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
    ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
    fe00::0 ip6-localnet

    SELECT MAX(TEST_COLUMN) INTO TEST_VALUE FROM TEST_TABLE;
    RETURN TEST_VALUE;
    END;We ran the following command
    SELECT GETTESTVALUE FROM DUAL;and receive an error as follows
    Error report:

    ORA-06512: at "GETTESTVALUE", line 6
    06502. 00000 - "PL/SQL: numeric or value error%s"However, if were to modify the function to the following
    CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION
    FUNCTION GETTESTVALUE
    RETURN TEST_TABLE.TEST_COLUMN%TYPE
    IS
    TEST_VALUE TEST_TABLE.TEST_COLUMN%TYPE;
    BEGIN
    SELECT TEST_COLUMN INTO TEST_VALUE FROM TEST_TABLE;
    RETURN TEST_VALUE;
    END;There is no error reported and the value NZ07100S is returned.
    Of course, when we modified the function to be
    CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION
    FUNCTION GETTESTVALUE
    RETURN TEST_TABLE.TEST_COLUMN%TYPE
    IS
    TEST_VALUE TEST_TABLE.TEST_COLUMN%TYPE;
    BEGIN
    SELECT CAST(MAX(TEST_COLUMN) AS CHAR(8))INTO TEST_VALUE FROM TEST_TABLE;
    RETURN TEST_VALUE;
    END;No errors are reported, and the value is returned
    Some of the guys in the main forums tried this out on Enterprise edition and did not encounter any issues. To faciliate their testing, I spooled the sqlsplus output and it is as follows

    However, I was just wondering, does anyone know if this is a known issue with Oracle XE ??
    Thanks and regards

    Hi Jega,
    thank you for your post.
    Don't know is this issue XE release specific issue or 10.2.0.1 generally?
    Anyway, already 10.2.0.3 is patched - as you can see, even selecting from XE through PE102030 working OK:
