Oracle 8.1.7 database connects to different database other than specified.

Dear Experts,
This is a mysterious problem, I had ever encountered. I had executed some scripts by having connect canvas@trn_pcd as part of the script. I had entered the password in SQL * PLUS by calling the script. The Production and Training database had the same passwords. The connection was somehow established to Production database and the changes went to Prod_pcdb8 instance rather than trn_pcdb instance. There was no local installation of any oracle tool and I had used the SQL * PLUS of installation from one of network machine. The DBA had confirmed that TNSNAMES.ora file does not point trn_pcdb to PROD_PCDB8 instance. The database the connection was made to is 8.1.7.0.0, what are the possible ways that this can happen. Any ideas or experiences in this regard will be highly appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
Reddy

Thanks Justin. I will try that, but I was not able to reproduce, it all happened in one SQL * PLUS session. I had that open and ran multiple scripts with each of them having connect user_id@trn_pcdb and each of the changes in the script went to PROD_PCDB. Unfortunately, I had not realised at that point that they were going to PROD_PCDB, until I opened the Training Application and to my surprise, I did not find any of the changes, we had done. Our applications are developed on Developer 2000 and use a batch file which resets the Oracle registry. So when I started the application, it goes and resets the Oracle registry on the user machine. This time, I opened a SQL * PLUS session from the ORACLE_HOME used by the application and re-ran the scripts and they rightfully went to trn_pcdb database.
So what are all the possible ways, that the changes can go to a different database though the connect string points to the right instance. Any ideas in this direction will highly be appreciated.
Thanks,
Reddy

  • Is there a way to change the color of the Bezier Curves and points to a different color other than black  I find it perplexing while setting points and curves working on a photo that needs to be separated from it's background for placement on transparent

    Is there a way to change the color of the Bezier Curves and points to a different color other than black  I find it perplexing while setting points and curves working on a photo that needs to be separated from it's background for placement on transparent backgrounds. Any thoughts?

    Yes. Well, sort of: instead of a "path", set the pen tool to "shape" in the tool properties. Then set the fill colour to transparent, and the stroke colour to the colour you want. You can also set the stroke width.
    Not perfect, but at least you can see the path more clearly - the anchor points and handles still remain the default colour. Open the path panel, and right-mouse click the path shape to create a selection based on that shape. The Paths panel menu also allows you to create work paths based on that shape.
    Unfortunately when you try to move the handles the black thin outline appears again until you release the mouse button.
    This is one of several things that works better in Photoline: in Photoline, once the path is set to a specific colour, editing the path uses the actual colour and stroke width. which is extremely handy for creating path based selection with awkward background colours and/or a high resolution screen. In Photoline the handles and bezier points are also much, much larger, which makes it rather simpler to work with as well - especially on a higher resolution screen. And when selected the handles and points are a clear red with a black outline - again easier to spot and identify. I just works better, in my opinion.

  • Safari no longer connects to any website other than FaceBook

    2009 iMac: After loading updates for Safari (7.0.4), OS X Mavericks (10.9.3), and iTunes (11.2.2), Safari will no longer connect to any website other than FaceBook. Chrome fares no better.
    Thanks for your help!

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • WT SynchManager instl. on a different Server other than SAP/SQL Server.

    Hi,
    Is it possible to move/install WebTools SynchManager on a different server other than the SAP/SQL Server? Please let us know.
    Note: 
    1. We are aware of the recommendation:  u201CInstall the SynchManager on the SAP Business One server on which the DI API is installedu201D in the "Business One Web Tools SynchManager Guide.pdf".
    2. But, SAP/SQL Server at our Client is starving of RAM due to a high number of windows services/application trying to run at the same time (although the maximum amount of RAM possible under the current configuration is installed (4GB)).
    3. So, we are evaluating as to which of these application (WebTools being one of them) can be moved to a different server.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Kafil Shumon.

    Hi Kafil,
    You can put the synchmanager on a different server as  long as the DI API is installed and that server can access the B1 licensing server.

  • Sync from different library other than mine.

    Hello. I have an iPhone 4S and is it possible to sync music onto my phone from a different library other than mine without the possibility of wiping out my own library? I noticed this when I hooked my iPhone up to my boyfriend's computer, and when I tired to drag a song onto my device, it would not allow it. When I clicked the box "manually manage music" then it gives me the option to replace his library with mine. Is there any way around this? Thanks.

    No, by design the iPhone is meant to sync with a single iTunes library.  If you attempt to sync with another one it will wipe the media off your phone and replace it with the other library.  Don't attempt this or you will have major problems trying to recover.

  • Accessing other databases other than where HTMLDB is installed

    I want to connect to more than one database in HTMLDB.
    I want to give a select list where user will select database wants to connect & then he will be given choices to run report.
    I don't want to use db links since this would only allow to connect to one database instance.
    The queries which runs against each database instance is same & Schema tables in each database instance is also same.
    Is it possible to do this in HTML DB ? If yes, where I can get more information.
    Thanks

    Hi Scott,
    Thanks for taking your time to answer my question.
    I am not sure whether you understood my problem or not.
    Let me give you simple example:-
    User will be presented a select list of all database instance. User will select 1 of value from select list. This is name of Instance.
    Based on Instance selected, I need to connect to that database & run some queries.
    Queries will remain same against each database instance. They access same underlying tables but only data changes between different database.
    More like creating a product like OEM (Oracle Enterprise Manager).
    Is it possible ?

  • When in mail, i would like to move emails to different folders other than the inbox, sent and trash can a folder be created?

    When in mail i would like to move my emails to a different folder on mail account other than the inbox, sent and trash options, can i  create a new folder?

    The suggestion above is for MailBoxes on the Mac in the mail app and have nothing at all to do with the iPad. I think that you are asking about the iPad mail app.
    You need to have an IMAP email account in order to create additional mailboxes on the iPad.
    If you go to your email account in the Mail app and look at the window where your inbox, trash folder and sent folder are - if there is an Edit button at the top of the window - tap that and then tap Add Mailbox at the bottom.
    If the Edit button is not there - you cannot create folders on the iPad. Your email account is not IMAP. Only IMAP email accounts can create folders on the iPad. Any folders that you would already have in an IMAP account would sync to the device as well.

    I have been having trouble figuring out how I can put the installer and adobe apps on another drive other than my C drive. Please Help me. My C drive is getting too full.

    The CC app itself will always install on the system root drive as will several shared components. Once the CC app has been installed, you can choose a different install location for the main programs in the app's settings.

  • Using a different directory other than /config/domain_name/applications

    Is it possible to configure WLS6.1 to use a directory other than "/config/domain_name/applications"

    Does anyone know if this was fixed, or is it still a problem. Do we really need
    to run our applications from within the bea install/config/domain directory?

    With 6.1, I have had some success running with the root directory different

  • HT2954 How can I access my imac mail from a different computer other than Apple?

    How can i access my imac email from a differnt computer other than
    apple?

    If you are using IMAP mail connection (IMAP keeps the  mail on the server), then you just configure the other computer's mail client to access the same account.
    If you are using a POP mail connection, then the mail is generally downloaded to your Mac and deleted from the server.  That is a much more difficult problem to solve.  NOTE:  Google's gmail does have a POP option that does NOT delete the mail on the server, so it is accessible via the gmail web page.
    A lot depends on what you are using for your mail service and whether you are using IMAP or POP protocols.

  • Buying from different Itunes other than home country

    I want to buy an album but it isn't available in the Japanese Itunes store so I went to the Canada store. I tried to buy the album but it just refered me back to Japanese store to buy the album. Will it always refer you back to your country store if you try to buy in a different store? If so how can I buy music that isn't available in the Japanese store?
    Ron

    Linda, you have to realize that computers can be
    tracked by their IP addresses, so even though you set
    up the account, your sister's IP address would
    indicate that she is not located in the US. I would
    also like to know where you read on the forums that
    this could be done because I have been posting
    regularly in the forums for over a year & have never
    seen any other information given out other than what
    I have already told you.
    So I understand what you're saying here: I can't purchase any music from a different country b/c I am based here, even if I have an billing address over there. Because I have to have a card with a billing address over there. So, the only way I can get music from other countries is to request them and (hopefully) they'll mirror those songs over here. Correct?

  • Is it possible to have profile manager on a different port other than 443

    Hi to have profilemanager working securely and correctly it should be run on 443 the default. But surely it could be run on another port if specified. If Apache was configured differently other than port 80/443? As i would rather host another site on 443. Which ideally i dont want the port number in the URL as this would be the main server address.
    If anyone has any info on how to do this that would be great..
    Thanks

    Hi Gilla-
    No, the isolation hardware on the 623x DIO is completely unidirectional so it is not possible to adjust the line directions beyond those specified in the user manual for those devices.

    The point is that I am able to connect to orcl using "system" user but not "jeff".
    If possible can you send me the snippet of commands to create user , granting privilege to orcl. I had refered oracle guide but may be I am doing some silly mistake.

    Are you working on the same machine where you installed the database and created the user ? If yes, then there is no need of giving @tnsname option. You can directly use sqlplus scott/tiger command to login from the prompt.
    If from another machine and provided you have configured oracle networking, you can login as follows.

  • Why is wireless router connectivity is different with Powerbook than iMac?

    I had problems with my 10.2 on the G3 450 iMac (that caused me to go to 10.3 about 2 weeks ago), my trusty old Buffalo router fried its WAN port. I replaced it with a Netgear unit, then a Linksys unit, now I'm back to Buffalo. The ongoing problem is that the laptop has a heck of a time connecting to the internet - while the iMac (via ethernet) has no problems whatsoever. It doess/did this with every manufacturer of routers I tried (since first I thought it may be a Netgear incompatibility issue).
    Strange part about the problems: Only initially does it spend 20+ seconds (close to Safari/Firefox timeout) "looking for" the host. Once it has found it, if you click on any links within the same host, it's lightning-fast. Just the initial callup seems to be inordinately difficult. I was hoping new firmware for the wireless modem, 10.4, the latest Airport update etc would alleviate the situation - no such luck. It USED to work fine on the old wireless router ... Also, it does this "looking for" business whether I have security enabled or not (I usually run 128bit encoding).
    I don't really mind waiting for a few seconds for a site to load, but when you're talking about something like Yahoo or ESPN, all these independent advertising servers have to be contacted to load the page and - you guessed it - it's a 20+ second delay for each one...
    I've rebooted the router and the laptop many times; I doubt it's the cable modem as the Ethernet on the iMac comes from the same router an doesn't have a problem at all. Any chance it's a setting of some sort in the preferneces panels?
    The problem appeared initially with the Netgear router. The whole reason I went back to Buffalo is that I never had any issues in the 4 years I owned the previous one (until the WAN port went out). I also tried a Linksys router but admittedly didn't spend a lot of time with it as the delay problem appeared right from the start.
    As far as 3rd party hardware is concerned, I wouldn't mind just getting an Apple Airport station at this time, but really don't want to spend the $ if it's an issue with either the laptop or its Airport card. I guess I could get one here at the local Apple store and bring it back if it doesn't work any differently (at least then I'd know it's either a laptop or a Comcast Cable-issue...).
    System setup:
    Desktop: G3 "Graphite" iMac / slot-loading / 400Mhz / 640MB RAM / 10.3.9
    Laptop: 15" G4 Aluninium Powerbook / 1.25Ghz / 1GB RAM / 10.4.6
    Wireless: Buffalo AirStation Turbo G WHR-HP-G54 (wireless to laptop / ethernet to iMac).
    Powerbook 15/1.25GHz/1GBRAM   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    It sounds as though you're having a problem with DNS lookups. Try this, type into Terminal (Applications > Utilities)…
    sudo lookupd -flushcache
    It will subsequently ask you for your administrator password. Type it in and then wait for the prompt to return. Do not do anything before then. Now, restart and see if things are any better.

    Hi,
    You can create a formula column in your query and try below code. The formula column should have char as return data type
    IF :column = 1 then
       return 'ASSIGNED';
    ELSIF :column = 2 then  
       return 'IN PROGRESS';
    ELSIF :column = 3 then  
       return 'VALUE3';
    ELSIF :column = 4 then  
       return 'VALUE4';
    ELSE
       return 'VALUE5';
