Ora-29541 could not resolve class

Bear with me if I sound stupid. Can't help it (because I am)! I am running this code in Java and I keep getting this error: ORA-29541 AFATDS.joeycode could not be resolved.
connection=java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(url, username, password);
stmt=connection.prepareStatement("Create or replace directory Bfile_dir as '/comp_order/joey/trig/trig/bin');
stmt.execute();
stmt.execute("Create or replace JAVA CLASS using BFILE (Bfile_dir, 'joeycode.class')");
stmt.execute("Create or replace procedure Before_update as language JAVA name 'joeycode.printmsg()';");
stmt.execute("Create or replace trigger pre_upd_trigger BEFORE UPDATE on table_name CALL Before_update");
stmt.execute("Update table_name SET column1 = 0");

Thanks for replying. I tried running the command you gave but an exception was thrown, specifally "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: oracle/aurora/util/Wrapper"
Also, the reason I was trying to do it the way I was trying to do it, was because the program needs to automatically put the java code in the Oracle database at the system startup.

    Hello,
    I have not used Oracle Gateway for a long time, but did you try to rename the file D:\product\11.2.0\tg\dg4msql\admin\initdg4msql.ora into D:\product\11.2.0\tg\dg4msql\admin\initdg4dmssqldb.ora ?
    initdg4msql.ora is the default name, and should be changed if you do not use dg4msql as gateway SID:

    when i try to install oracle 10g i find this problem i wish you help meIn the future please work from a command line and use copy and paste to put commands and results in your posts. Many people's corporate nets block access to blog sites.
    I have recently blogged extensively on this very subject. See edstevensdba.wordpress.com. I can't post a link to the exact article, because my corporate website blocks access to blog sites. I have also, many many times posted on this error in this forum, which a cursory search would have turned up. But once again, back by popular request:
    =================================
    ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
    This error means one thing, and one thing only. The client could not find the specified entry in the tnsnames.ora file being used.
    As a follow-on to that statement, remember that when you use a dblink, the database in which the link is defined is acting as a client to the database that is the target of the link. So in this case, the tnsnames.ora file on the host of your source should have an entry for your target db, as defined in the db_link.
    And for the umpteenth time ... this error has <b><i><u>NOTHING</u></i></b> to do with the status of a listener. The connection request never got far enough to reach a listener. If anyone tells you to check a listener in response to ora-12154, they are not paying attention, or do not understand how TNS works. This error is the equivalent of not being able to place a telephone call because you don't know the number of the party you want to reach. You wouldn't debug that situation by going to the other guy's house and testing his telephone, or by going to the phone company and testing the switchboard. And you don't debug a ORA-12154 by checking the listener. If I had a top ten list of "Incredibly Simple Concepts (tm)" that should be burned into the brain of everyone who claims to be an Oracle DBA, it would include "ORA-12154 Has Nothing To Do With The Listener".
    =================================
    A couple of important points.
    First, the listener is a server side only process. It's entire purpose in life is to receive requests for connections to databases and set up those connections. Once the connection is established, the listener is out of the picture. It creates the connection. It doesn't sustain the connection. One listener, with the default name of LISTENER, running from one oracle home, listening on a single port, will serve multiple database instances of multiple versions running from multiple homes. It is an unnecessary complexity to try to have multiple listeners or to name the listener as if it belongs to a particular database. That would be like the telephone company building a separate switchboard for each customer.
    Additional notes on the listener: One listener is capable of listening on multiple ports. But please notice that it is the listener using these ports, not the database instance. You can't bind a specific listener port to a specific db instance. Similarly, one listener is capable of listnening on multiple IP addresses (in the case of a server with multiple NICs) But just like the port, you can't bind a specific ip address to a specific db instance.
    Second, the tnsnames.ora file is a client side issue. It's purpose is for address resolution - the tns equivalent of the 'hosts' file further down the network stack. The only reason it exists on a host machine is because that machine can also run client processes.
    Assume you have the following in your tnsnames.ora:
    larry =
      (DESCRIPTION =
        (ADDRESS_LIST =
          (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = myhost)(PORT = 1521))
        (CONNECT_DATA =
          (SERVICE_NAME = curley)
      )Now, when you issue a connect, say like this:
    $> sqlplus scott/tiger@larrytns will look in your tnsnames.ora for an entry called 'larry'. Finding it, tns sends a request through the normal network stack to (PORT = 1521) on (HOST = myhost) using (PROTOCOL = TCP), asking for a connection to (SERVICE_NAME = curley).
    Where is (HOST = myhost) on the network? When the request gets passed from tns to the next layer in the network stack, the name 'myhost' will get resolved to an IP address, either via a local 'hosts' file, via DNS, or possibly other less used mechanisms. You can also hard-code the ip address (HOST = 123.456.789.101) in the tnsnames.ora.
    Next, the standard networking process delivers the message to port 1521 on myhost. Hopefully, there is a listener on myhost configured to listen on port 1521, and that listener knows about SERVICE_NAME = curley. If so, the listener will spawn a server process to act as the intermediary between your client and the database instance. Communication to the server process will be on a randomly selected available port. At that point the listener is out of the process and continues to user port 1521 to await other connection requests.
    What can go wrong?
    First, there may not be an entry for 'larry' in your tnsnames. In that case you get "ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified" No need to go looking for a problem on the host, with the listener, etc. If you can't place a telephone call because you don't know the number (can't find your telephone directory (tnsnames.ora) or can't find the party you are looking for listed in it (no entry for larry)) you don't look for problems at the telephone switchboard.
    Maybe the entry for larry was found, but myhost couldn't be resolved to an IP address (say there was no entry for myhost in the local hosts file). This will result in "ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist"
    Maybe there was an entry for myserver in the local hosts file, but it specified a bad IP address. This will result in "ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist"
    Maybe the IP was good, but there is no listener running: "ORA-12541: TNS:no listener"
    Maybe the IP was good, there is a listener at myhost, but it is listening on a different port. "ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error"
    Maybe the IP was good, there is a listener at myhost, it is listening on the specified port, but doesn't know about SERVICE_NAME = curley. "ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor"
    Third: If the client is on the same machine as the db instance, it is possible to connect without referencing tnsnames and without going through the listener.
    Now, when you issue a connect, say like this:
    $> sqlplus scott/tigertns will attempt to establish an IPC connection to the db instance. How does it know the name of the instance? It uses the current value of the enviornment variable ORACLE_SID. So...
    $> export ORACLE_SID=fred
    $> sqlplus scott/tigerIt will attempt to connect to the instance known as "fred". If there is no such instance, it will, of course, fail. Also, if there is no value set for ORACLE_SID, the connect will fail.
    check executing instances to get the SID

    ERROR:
    ORA-12162: TNS:net service name is incorrectly specifiedOk, that is how we get from the client connection request to the listener. What about the listener's part of all this?
    The listener is very simple. It's job is to listen for connection requests and make the connection (server process) between the client and the database instance. Once that connection is made, the listener is out of the picture. If you were to kill the listener, all existing connections would continue. The listener is configured with the listener.ora file, but if that file doesn't exist, the listener is quite capable of starting up with all default values. One common mistake with the listner configuration is to specify "HOST=localhost" or "HOST=127.0.01". This is a NONROUTABLE ip address. LOCALHOST and ip address 127.0.0.1 always mean "this machine on which I am sitting". So, all computers are known as "localhost" or "127.0.0.1". If you specify this address, the listener will only be capable of receiving requests from the machine on which it is running. If you specified that address in your tnsnames file - on a remote client machine - the request would be routed to the machine on which the requesting client resides. Probably not what you want.

  • Could not resolve service name when installing Mobile Server

    Hi,
    when installing mobile server I am prompted for the SYSTEM pwd and then get "ORA-12154: Could not resolve service name". I install lite in a different home (LITE_HOME) than the database. Database's TNSNAMES.ORA looks like (I added the webtogo.world entry myself)
    ===================== TNSNAMES.ORA =================
    WEBTOGO.WORLD =
         (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
    (ADDRESS =
    (PROTOCOL = TCP)
    (Host = localhost)
    (Port = 1521)
    (CONNECT_DATA = (lite.oracle)))
    LITE.PL.ORACLE.COM =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SERVER = DEDICATED)
    (SERVICE_NAME = lite.oracle)
    =======================================
    Then installing lite I enter localhost/1521/lite.oracle
    I can connect from sqlplus:
    sqlplus system/manager@lite
    Java version is 1.3.1_08, which I think is correct.
    Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.
    Best regards,
    Pawel

    Hi,
    When you install Oracle Lite the valid TNSNAMES.ora becomes the one that is coming with Oracle Lite.
    From now on when you must create a tns name you must create it in the Oracle Lite's tnsnames.ora file unless you specify which tnsnames file you will use in the registry.
    You can find tnsnams.ora file in the below path:
    <OracleLite_HOME>\network\admin\

  • Toad ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified

    I'm installing oracle clients and tools on a new Windows 7 machine issued to me by my company.
    I installed a 64 bit 10.2.0.3 oracle client, but found that 64 bit installations don't work with TOAD. So I installed a 32 bit 10.2.0.1 oracle client. I also set up my TNS names files in the network/admin directory of both installations, set up the hosts files, and ensured that the registry information is accurate. I have no ORACLE_HOME environment variable because when I installed the 2nd installation of Oracle it said that I shouldn't have one since I have multiple versions of oracle and it erased it.
    I am able to connect and use SQL Plus and SQL Developer with both installations of Oracle, but I'm not able to connect with TOAD. TOAD finds the 32 bit installation and all of its registry information looks correct and TOAD says "The Oracle home is valid". TOAD also loads my TNS file and all associated IPs and everything looks good when I look at them in the the TNS Editor. I am also running TOAD as administrator in order to avoid "Can't initialize OCI. Error -1" errors.
    Yet, whenever I try to connect to any database, I get the following error:
    "ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified" and then the database I am using
    Is there anything else I need to setup because I have multiple installations of Oracle? Or anything else I need to setup running on a 64 bit windows machine with 32 bit installations of oracle and toad?
    Thanks for any help you can give.

    And in case you want to know my registry information:

    Gordon:
        As you've noted, there were multiple  misunderstandings.
        Some are due to references in the language which are  different from uses in pre-existing languages.
        Take "name spaces". They look like URLs but they're  not. One of the first errors I made when starting Flex was to try to browse to  http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml. I  figured that it would have some description of the language. But it didn't. In  spite of LOOKING like a URL, it doesn't point to anything; it's really just an  arbitrary magic incantation, like "Open Sesame".
        But, then when I wanted to use my OWN namespace, I  find that it's NOT arbitrary, and does have to point to something, but it's  still not a URL. The "AHA" moment was when Michael told me that "*" means "look  in this directory for a file with the name later named in an import statement,  but not named here". And if the file was in subfolder  "X" I'd have to use "X.*", while if it were a URL I'd use slash instead of  dot, but never an asterisk.
        When the language syntax is so contrary to the  expectations of people coming from a declarative language or web programming  background, I think it is important to explicitly address the differences and  disabuse them of their preconceptions. I think the same should apply to the ways  in which ActionScript differs from ECMAScript.
        Another problem adding to my confusion is the habit  of naming variables with the names of keywords but with capitalization changes.  Not only does that set readers up for subtle "gotchas", but makes it unclear  which names are truly arbitrary, and which are required by the  compiler.
    It might be a good idea to have a convention of an  identifiable format for user variables. Many authors use names like  myButton for that purpose.
        It would also be helpful if printed text could  simulate the syntax coloring of the better editors, or at least have more  in-source comments saying exactly what each line does. (Or both)
        Another aid to understanding would be to provide a  reference to the alternative (MXML or AS) way of doing anything, whenever you  demonstrate one of the ways.
        I find that the emphasis on using FlexBuilder  distracts from a sense of what is really going on behind the scenes. E,g.: If  FlexBuilder automatically sets up the folder structure, I don't learn to do it  myself. I like to work at the code level, so when something goes wrong I don't  have to worry about what level it went wrong at.
        Also, not everyone is willing to drop $600 or $250  BEFORE they've learned whether they even like Flex. Your tutorials are, by  definition, addressed to newcomers who may well not yet have committed to the  expense of FlexBuilder. So more emphasis on using mxmlc would be nice. It would  also be helpful to discuss how to use local servers, like Tomcat, during the  development stage.
        Thanks for asking my opinion. I'm afraid that my 40  years of programming experience may make it harder for me to adapt to this new  style of programming than it would be for a kid with a tabula rasa. But, it  looks like it'll be fun once I get over the hump!

  • ORA-12514: TNS:listener could not resolve SERVICE_NAME given in connect

    Hi Friends,
    I have created 10g database for catalog.
    I kept the tns entry in some other server. Tnsping is working fine.. I can see the result.

    When I am trying to connect to the database I am getting following error..

    Please help me..
    Thanks in advance.

    Try on the server where it doesn't work:
    sqlplus ismdba/xxxxx@"(DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = torora60)(PORT = 1522))) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = rman09na)))"
    or
    tnsping "(DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = torora60)(PORT = 1522))) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = rman09na)))"
    (note the double quotes)
    If that works then your tnsnames.ora is incorrect on that server.

  • ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified [10g XE]

    Greetings
    There are many topics on this issue over the internet but None of them addresses this issue properly, so I couldn't find a solution to the problem.
    I installed: Oracle Database 10g Express Edition
    After the installation was done, I opened SQL Command Line
    and I used the command "connect" to login
    I enter the username
    Then I entered the password
    After a couple of seconds I got the following ERROR message:
    ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
    Screenshot of the error:
    http://i35.tinypic.com/14o26g7.png
    I installed this version of Oracle on both Windows XP 32 bit and Windows 7 32 bit and I get the same error message when it tries to connect.
    Why doesn't Oracle work right after the installation?
    Are there any further steps that need to be done in order to make this work? If so I would really appreciate any step by step help, I've been stuck trying to find a solution for days.

    I wento to CMD, then I entered sqlplus / as sysdba and that just opened the SQL*Plus program in CMD (SQL>)
    But nevertheless I still need to login with a user name and password which and I tried and I got the same error message.
    >
    We're making progress, you'll be logging in soon....
    Get into SQL*Plus with the command I gave you, now type this:
    alter user <theusernameyouwant> identified by abc123;followed by (still in SQL*Plus):
    connectafter you type "connect", SQL*Plus will ask you for a user name and password. Use the same user name and password you used in the alter command.

  • ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve... - sql plus works, env vars are set...

    Hi,
    I am getting this error message in my ASP.Net apps (namespace Oracle.DataAccess.Client) and any app that tries to use the Oracle Provider for OLE DB.
    Error:
    ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
    Here is what I do know:
    - My ORACLE_HOME is set to C:\oracle\product\11.1.0\client_1\
    - My path has C:\oracle\product\11.1.0\client_1\network\admin;C:\oracle\product\11.1.0\client_1\bin;
    - I installed Oracle Client 11g, previously 10g was working but one of the devs wanted to upgrade
    - I can connect using sqlplus user/pass@tnsname
    - I can test tns entries successfully in Net Manager
    Here is what I don't know:
    - When using OLE connections, why does Oracle Provider for OLE DB not pick up on the environment variables - sql plus seems to, that's why it works.
    - In ASP.Net, why does the connection object from Oracle.DataAccess.Client not pick up the correct environment variables?
    - How do the Oracle drivers pick up the location of the TNS names?
    Thanks,
    Michael

    Hi,
    What "environment variables" are you referring to that you have set? You shouldnt have to set any, unless you're talking about TNS_ADMIN just to avoid having to configure multiple TNSNames.ora's if you have multiple homes.
    Your PATH doesnt need to include OH\network\admin, but thats not hurting anything. PATH is for dll loading, not for finding config files.
    Do you still have 10g installed? When you connect using sqlplus user/pass@tnsname, are you using 11g sqlplus? Or is that coming from the 10g client? Multiple homes arent aware of each other, so if you have a 10g home and an 11g home, you'd have to configure tnsnames.ora for both (or use tns_admin).
    As far as I know, the client software picks up tnsnames.ora by checking:
    1) the local working directory
    2) the tns_admin directory
    3) the network\admin directory of the client home being used.
    Hope it helps,
    Greg

  • Fundamental Problem: ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service name

    Hello,
    I am faced with a fundamental problem:
    ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service name
    I can say with a high level of confidence that the TNSNAMES.ora configuration file is not the problem. My peer is using the exact same file with no issues. I am using the TOAD database utility to connect to the db host. Also, I have ORACLE_HOME defined and the file is located in /network/ADMIN.
    Any ideas?

    Make sure your toad looking into right tnsnames.ora; also try this from command line after adding following entry to your tnsnames.ora.

  • MSDAORA,IIS,ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service name

    Hi All,
    I have a Web Service that coded in VS2008, using ORACLE DB(9i).
    At a time the application working fine and I can access and do everything with database.
    Some other time database server is down for scheduled maintenance. If I try to run the application at this point of time it will raise err "ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service name".
    When i reset iis it start to work fine for a while.Then same problem occurs again.
    My connection string is connectionString="provider=MSDAORA.1;data source=***;user id=***;password=***;"
    is there any solution?
    i tried that;
    If theire is multiple copies of OCIW32.dll you have to make sure that there is only one copy of OCIW32.dll which should be in /Bin folder of the oracle home folder.
    Add the IUSR_machine name account and the IWAM_machine name account to the Oracle home folder. Give both accounts full control.
    Create empty file tnsnames.ora in same directory as aspnet_wp.exe,

    Hi,
    The issue doesnt make much sense on the surface at least. 12154 means the client couldnt figure out what you were referring to with your Data Source= entry. If the database was taken down, I'd expect an "oracle not available" or some other sort of error, as the client should have still be able to resolve the entry at least, even if the database wasnt up at the time.
    What do you mean by "When i reset iis it start to work fine for a while.Then same problem occurs again."? The same problem meaning you get 12154 when you take the database down? Or you get 12154 without a db restart?
    Are you using TNSNames.ora for client naming resolution, or something else (ldap, for example)?

  • ORA -ERR :Tns could not resolve service name

    Hi,
    I am tring to get into sql plus. As the oracle is pre installed and as donot know the system password, I am tring to login as Scott/tiger and host string as 'ORCL'.
    I am getting the following error.
    ORA-12154 :
    Tns could not resolve service name
    Is there any way to find the Host string name through any of the installation files.
    Please suggest.
    Badrinath

    Hi,
    Open the tns file ( available at oracle_home/network/admin/tnsnames.ora). I do not know what your oracle_home name is. Usually it is oracle/ora81/ under c: or D: or where ever you installed Oracle. Go thru the file. You will find the service name. Use that while logging. If you want to login to ORCL, it has to be there in tns files name otherwise Oracle cvan not resolve the name.
    Good luck
