Oracle 8 not connecting from client machines

hello
i am using oracle 8 on windows environment. the problem is that oracle is connecting on the server machine but not on client machine for some days. sometimes i do connects but sometimes the application helds for long time and no response is obtained. Application is residing on the server and drive has been mapped on the client machines. What can be the possible cause. ping on the network is ok.
Waiting...

oracle 8Wauv a historic database from 1997 - http://tonguc.wordpress.com/2006/12/27/history-of-oracle/
do you really have to stay at that version first of all, 11gR1 is out and 9iR2 is de-supported recently and I couldnt find this release's documentation also.
What about tnsping and sqlplus connection from your clients and listener status on your server - lsnrctl status
You may need to set, take and analyze sql*net traces - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/java.102/b14355/apxtblsh.htm#i1004660

There is nothing in your connect string to tell sqlplus which database you want to connect to. Therefore it assumes (by default) that you want to connect to a *local* database whose name is identified by the value of the environment variable ORACLE_SID. And there is no such database, so he gets the reported error trying to establish a connection to a non-existent local service.
You need to specify your target database, thusly:
SQL> conn sys/syspw@rmanp as sysdba
BTW, connecting to a remote database as sysdba is considered by most DBAs to be a big secruity breach. If you really need sysdba privileges (rare) you should be logged on to the database server machine with proper OS credentials, and work from there.
Also, TYPING IN ALL CAPS IS PERCEIVED AS SHOUTING.

BOE 4.0 Report Application Server Connectivity from client machine

Hi,
We have installed BO 4.0 for RAS. We configured the RAS to pick up the rpt files from local repository, that is from the machine which the Bo is installed.
But when we try to access the RAS from client machine to process report it is not accepting the request,
1. Do I need to grant access to any specific user group?
2. What is the user id which the Report Application Service runs in the machine?
3. Do I need to add / manage any guest acoount to request from client machine?
4. How to accept other user request to process reports?
Here is the error details,
Message Number: -2147217397
Message Description: The user account has been disabled. (FWB 00012)
Please advise,

Thanks for your support.
I searched in otn and i got the information
http://www.oracle.com/technology/sample_code/products/forms/extracted/getclientinfo/readme.html?_template=/ocom/print
1)But in Deployment section of this document the first point is copy entire sab and its subdirectories ........ot <oracle_home>\orant\forms60\java directory.
I can't understand what is "sab" where should i look for it.
2) Place the signed JavaBean JAR file (getclientinfo.jar.sig) in the codebase directory being used to deploy Oracle Forms Server 6i applications.
Can you kindly explain this.
3) where should we write <ARCHIVE = "f60all.jar, getclientinfo.jar.sig">
Can you kindly explain this.
Thanking you in anticipation.

Is it possible to export (expdp) oracle table from client machine ?

Is it possible to export (expdp*) oracle table from client machine, without using Remote desk top connection ?*
1) Database-10g server is in America
2) client machine is in India
3) Oracle client-10g software is installed in my machine
4) I am able to connect to the server, could see all tables
5) one table is with 35 million record, I wanted to export this table using data pump, is it possible?
note: without using Remort desk top connection.

Hi
I used the following syntax , but I am getting error
6) connect sys as sysdba
create directory test_dir as '/dbusr1/exp_test'
grant read, write on directory test_dir to user1;
7) expdp user1/pwd1@xyz tables=test_1 directory=test_dir dumpfile=test_file.dmp logfile=test_file.log
8) Errors
In linux prompt I am getting this error
-bash: expdp: command not found
In windows cmd prompt I am getting this error
ORA-39002: invalid operation
ORA-39070: Unable to open the log file.
ORA-29283: invalid file operation
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_FILE";, line 488
ORA-29283: invalid file operation
9) why ?
-- Does the user ( "user1") should have any system level privilege ? to export his own table?
-- This folder ('/dbusr1/*exp_test'*) has write privilege in os level.

Path does not exit - While trying to save file on SharPoint Server 2013 from client machine

Hi,
I have installed Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013 Enterprise Edition on my testing Lab environment (On VM Workstation 10) on Windows Server 2012 with SQL server 2012, I can access all files stored at SharePoint Server from any physical machine, I can share
a single file among different people to work simultaneously, but here i stuck on saving any file from client machine to directly on SharePoint Server, Attached is the snap shot, whenever I try to save any file directly It says Path Does Not Exist, If I drag
and drop any file directly to SharePoint I do not see any error message.
I read from different posts that I need to Enable Desktop Experience Feature on Server 2012, which I installed but no positive result gained :(
I will appreciate for any possible help?

Running Pro*C from client machine

Hi
I trying to run a Pro*c program which tries to connect to DB which is running on different server.
While running this I am getting "ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error".
One suggestion I found that Pro*C application should run on DB server.
is there any workaround so that we can run pro*C from client machine?
Or running on server is only possibility?
Thanks
Shailesh

Sorry, I may have misunderstood your problem. I believe that this issue has to do with your tnsnames.ora file. You need to configure your DB to be able to talk to the Pro*C program. In order to do this, you need to set up an LISTENER for EXTERNAL_PROC (for external processes). This is automatically created when you install the DB. You can also create a listener using Network configuration manager. You just need to specify the proctocol, IPC or TCP/IP and the KEY = extproc (can be anything)
listener.ora (techobs.com is just the domain name)
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC0))
TNSNAMES.ora where you you must specify the SID for the external proc
EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA.TECHOBS.COM =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(Key = EXTPROC0))
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = extp))
Note: I learned this when doing the installation of OC. If I am wrong, I would hope that somebody would show me where because this is Oracle DBA.

Do you try it with apache web server ? If yes, is there any related information in the apache.log when someone try to connect from out. What's in your http server related config files, vhosts, etc?
Ill try that today. i tried something similar with sshd and looked at the verbose output of the program when trying to connect remotely. it was never touched, like no one tried to connect. i feel like its a network security issue since i can connect locally. but ill check these logs as well

Reading Large data files from client machine ( urgent)

Hi,
I want to know the best way for reading large data at about 75MB file from client machine and insert to the database.
Can anybody provide sample code for it.
Loading the file should be done at client machine and inserting into the database should be done at server side.
How should i load the file?
How should i transfer this file or data to server ?
How should i insert into the database ?
Thanks in advance.
regards
Kalyan

Like I said before you should be using your application server to serve files >from the server off the filesystem. The database should not store files this big >and should instead just have a reference to this file. I think u have not understood the problem corectly.
I will make it clear.
The requirement is as follows.
This is a j2ee based application.
Application server is oracle application server.
Database is oracle9i
it is thick client (swing based application)
User enters datasource like c:\turkey.data
This turkey.data file contains data

like wise we may have more than 3 lacs rows in it.
We need to read this file and transfer this to the application server. Which are EJBS.
There we read this file each row in file is one row in the database for a table.
Like wise we need to insert 3 lacs records in the database.
We can use Jdbc to insert the data which is not a problem.
Only problem is how to transfer this data to server.
I can do it in one way. This is only a example
I can read all the data in StringBuffer and pass to server.
There again i get the data from StringBuffer and insert into database using jdbc.
This way if u do it. It is performance issue and takes long time to insert into the database.It even may give MemoryOutofBond exception.
just iam looking for the better way of doing this which may get good performace issue.
Hope u have understood the problem.

How to find out a file from client machine

hi all,
I want to read a file from client machine, like a outlook express file in which all the address are saved, using servlet. Initially i do not know the file path for that file, How i can read that file.
plz help me
thanx in advace
Manish

You have 2 possibilities. First, you might be able to mount the client's disk drive at the server; the servlet can then access that drive directly. Second, install a client program on the client machine and communicate with that program, and have it do the search (or whatever).
Outside of Java, there are remote-access programs - like PCAnyWhere.

Blob processing varies between databases; see also examples for whatever database you are using, e.g.

If you are storing text data instead of binary data, replace "blob" by "clob" in the searches.

Hi,
Well,i don't know whether if this helps people here are not.
It is always a good practise to do it via Servlet and then download content.
The adavantage of doing this is
1). You may not need to pack the downloadable with the .war which you ultimately genrate which ceratinly help us in terms of faster deployment.
3). You may update the new content just by moving a file to the backup folder.
2).One may definately download the content irrespective to the content/file.
Hope example below helps..
Configurations:
In the above example we are assuming that we placing all downlodable file in D:/webapp/downlodables/ and you have configured the same path as a init param with the name "filePath" in your web.xml.
something like the one below.
<servlet>
    <servlet-name>DownloadServlet</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>com.DownloadServlet</servlet-class>
    <init-param>
       <param-name>filePath</param-name>
       <param-value>D:/webapp/downlodables/</param-name>
       
    </init-param>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>DownloadServlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/downloadFile</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>DownloadServlet.java:

NOTE: Make sure You include activations.jar in your CLASSPATH b4 trying the code.
therefore,if you have something like above set as your application enviroment in the above disccussed
can be done by just giving a simple hyper link like
