Oracle 8i 8.1.6 problem

Hi
I am trying to connect to database but getting error like : TNS: could not resolve service name. Do we need to give Global database name and SID as Admin using while installation
Thanks in advance for your help
Ven

How did you create the TNS name you're entering as the service name? If you used the Net8 Configuration Assistant, you should be able to test that the connection can be made. If you directly edited the tnsnames.ora file on the client, double-check that you entered everything properly, preferrably by comparing to another tnsnames.ora file on a working machine.
Note that the TNS name is specified on the client machine, not on the server, and that the TNS name is independent of the database name and/or SID (though the TNS name does contain one of the two).
If you have the latest version of the ODBC driver, when you create a new DSN, the Service Name is a drop-down box that lists all the entries in your tnsnames.ora file. Make sure that the TNS service name you want to use is listed there.

  • Oracle Packaged Application "Google Map" - Problem Found

    To Oracle Webmaster and Support Team,
    In the APEX Sample Code from the page (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/packaged_apps/packaged_apps.html#INTEGRATION).
    The "Google Map" Application Preview (http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=34481:1:4401939335008683) has some issues.
    After entering an address and click the button "Get Geocode", the following error message display: "ORA-29273: HTTP request failed ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_HTTP", line 1577 ORA-24247: network access denied by access control list (ACL)" (Error Calling Geocode Service).
    I apologize if this is the incorrect place to post this message, I cannot find any other place to post this issue to Oracle.
    Thanks.

    JT,
    On the Oracle hosted web site, that 'problem' will never be fixed, mainly because to fix it, it could allow a whole series of approaches for their system to be 'hacked'.
    In short, for Oracle to allow that access on their server, for anybody to execute, would be a huge security problem. On your own site, then you can limit which users/schema would have that privilege, so it's not as big of a secuirty threat on your site. Though, that also doesn't mean nobody on your site could inadvertently grant the permission and open your site up to potential attacks, but that's a completely different problem.

  • Oracle External Table SELECT FROM problem from workstation

    At Solaris Oracle database server console.
    Created directory on the Solaris server as Oracle owner.
    As SYS created oracle directory object on that Solaris directory
    Granted read/write to SCHEMA_OWNER on that oracle directory object.
    Using OS Oracle user, moved a tab-delimited flat file into the Solaris directory.
    Logged on a SCHEMA_OWNER using SQLPLUS on the Solaris database server.
    Ran external table script in SQLPLUS.
    External table was created.
    Ran Select * from ext_table.
    Appropriate dataset returned.
    So at the Oracle Solaris server console,
    the create external table script worked without errors,
    and a select from statement on the external table worked without errors.
    Move to developer workstation:
    Logged on as SCHEMA_OWNER using SQLPLUS on Windows workstation.
    TNSNAMES of course points to the Solaris database server.
    Ran the external table script in SQLPLUS.
    External table was created.
    Ran Select * from ext_table.
    This failed with these errors:
    ORA29913 error executing ODCIEXTTABLEOPEN callout
    ORA29400 data cartridge error
    cant open logfile.log
    OS permission denied
    ORA06512 sys.oracle_loader line 19
    So how can I select from external tables from a windows workstation?
    Any guidance on this problem would be appreciated.

    Thank you for your response.
    I am not creating the external table on the workstation.
    In both cases,
    from the Solaris console
    and from the Windows workstation
    the external table is being created on the Solaris file system
    in an Oracle Directory object
    running an SQL script from SQLPLUS prompt.
    The external table creator, schema owner, has read and write permissions
    granted by SYS on the oracle directory object.
    The problem is:
    Logged in as the schema owner,
    you can select * from ext_table from the Solaris console SQLPLUS,
    but you can not select * from ext_table from the Windows workstation SQLPLUS.
    You can DROP TABLE ext_table from the Windows workstation SQLPLUS.
    You just cannot select * from ext_table from the Windows workstation SQLPLUS.
    I guess as a test,
    I can drop from the ext_table creation script the references
    to discardfile, badfile, and logfile,
    and remove this other file objects from the equation...
    which appears to be a file permissions problem.

  • Oracle Client Installer - INS-32012 problem

    Hi,
    I created a folder called app as root in / directory. In this app folder I created a folder called oracle.
    I want install Oracle client into /app/oracle
    I assigned as root these permission:
    chmod 775 /app
    chmod 775 /app/oracle
    but when I run as user:
    ./runInstaller
    of Oracle Client I have this problem when I choose /app/oracle as folder of installation.
    [INS-32012] Unable to create directory.
    Cause - Either proper permissions were not granted to create the directory or there was no space left in the volume. Action - Check your permission on the selected directory or choose another directory.
    Action - Check your permission on the selected directory or choose another directory.
    What do I wrong?

    Using 777 is typically a bad idea - you have not identified who owns these directories, nor which account is being used to run the installer.
    SriniI will fix the idenfied, now I understand.
    Why is not supported?
    Until now I have installed all library and the installer is running; my unique problem is on i386 requested library that I'm finding.

  • UNIXWARE ORACLE V7.3.3 COREDUMP PROBLEM SOLUTION

    제품 : ORACLE SERVER
    작성날짜 : 1998-03-24
    Unixware Oracle V7.3.3 Coredump problem solution
    Unixware 용 Oracle V7.3.3 을 사용할 때 svmrgrl 와 sqlplus 수행시 core dump가
    발생하는 경우가 있습니다.
    - sqlplus 의 경우
    username 과 passwd를 두번이상 틀릴경우 발생합니다.
    $ sqlplus [enter]
    Enter user-name : [enter]
    Enter user-name : [enter]
    core dump 발생
    sqlplus 로 connect된 상태에서 connect 명열을 사용하면 core dump가
    발생합니다.
    $ sqlplus scott/tiger
    SQL> connect scott/tiger
    core dump 발생
    - svrmgrl 의 경우
    svrmgrl 를 exit 할 경우 가끔 발생합니다.
    1. Advanced Networing Option 이 인스톨되어 있는지 확인한다.
    이 제품이 인스톨되어 있을때 Core dump 가 발생할 경우가 많다.
    install된 제룸 확인법
    # cd $ORACLE_HOME/orainst
    # inspdver
    Advanced Networing Option 이 인스톨되어 있으면 De-install 한다.
    (orainst 이용)
    De-install 후 Oracle , Network, SQL*Plus 등을 Relinking 한다.
    # svrmgrl
    SVRMGR> connect internal
    SVRMGR> shutdown
    SVRMGR> exit
    $ lsnrctl stop
    $ cd $ORACLE_HOME/network/lib
    $ make -f ins_network.mk install
    $ cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib
    $ make -f ins_rdbms.mk install
    $ cd $ORACLE_HOME/sqlplus/lib
    $ make -f ins_sqlplus.mk install
    2. $ORACLE_HOME/otrace/admin/*.dat 화일을 지운다.
    $ cd $ORACLE_HOME/otrace/admin
    $ rm -f *.dat
    3. 환경 변수 EPC_DISABLED 를 TRUE 로 설정한다.
    ksh (.profile)
    $ export EPC_DISABLED=true
    csh (.cshrc)
    $ setenv EPC_DISABLED true
    4. 3번까지 작업을 한 경우에도 계속해서 CoreDump 가 발생할 경우 다음의
    OS Kernel Parameter들을 확인한다.
    $ su
    Passwd:
    # cd /etc/conf/bin
    # ./idtune -g SVMMLIM
    0X7FFFFFFF 0x2000000 0x1000000 0x7FFFFFFF
    # ./idtune -g HVMMLIM
    0X7FFFFFFF 0x2000000 0x1000000 0x7FFFFFFF
    결과가 위와 다를 경우 (첫번째 컬럼의 값이 0x7FFFFFFF 가 아닐경우)
    OS Kernel을 Rebuild 한다.
    # ./idtune SVMMLIM 0x7FFFFFFF
    # ./idtune HVMMLIM 0x7FFFFFFF
    # ./idbuild
    # cd /
    # shutdown -y -g0 -i6

    Intel says there is a bug in oracle's OUI as well other swing based programs. The solution is to copy the CD to local drive and add -nojit as first parameter to JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS e.g. JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS="-nojit -mx32m"
    This will enable OUI to run. Even after installing oracle Net80 conf. asst won't start due to same reason.
    Go to HOME\admin\tools\ and edit netca.cl and netasst.cl to add same -nojit before -classpath.

  • Oracle 10g release 2 installation problem on XP

    Hi
    I have some strange problems during installing oracle on my windows xp system.
    Everything goes fine until the DB configuration assistant starts to perform its tasks.
    The error is 'ORA-01919 XDBADMIN role does not exist'. I`ve searched the web but found nothing which could solve my problem. I think that the problem appears because of some security policy problems. Before installation i had created logon ID oracledba and assigned it to ora_dba group , later i had added the log as batch job priviledge to the oracledba. Please help if You know what may be a reason of my problems.
    Regards
    t.o.

    Hello
    Thanks for response. In both cases the problem is the same. It appears during instance creation. First XDBADMIN role doesn`t exist , then some error about unsufficient priviledges(there are proper usesr in usergroups attached ). I also tried to install it by deleting loopback adapter , disconnecting the computer from the network etc. Every attempt was failure. I`ve noticed that during prereq. check i get an error about service packs, error code OUI-15038 which is telling to install recommended service back because there is exception on string 'Pac'. I don`t understand it because I have an XP sp2 with lastest upgrades & service packs.
    p.s.
    please forgive me my english, it isn`t my native language.

  • VMware Fusion with Oracle Data Integrator - 'View data' problem

    I am running ODI and Oracle 10g Express Edition under XP (SP2) under VMware Fusion (Beta 3) on a Macbook Pro. (Already lost interest??)
    The packaged demo works fine..
    I have created a set of tables with 10g and set up the ODI environment - physical & logical schemas, KMs etc. No problem. Successfully created reverse-engineered model from the tables. So far, fine.
    When I try to view the data associated to the data stores I get error: Execution failed; ORA-00903: Invalid table name.
    I have tried using different contexts etc. Obviously, the reverse engineering process can 'see' the tables..
    Any advice please?
    Many thanks, Steve.

    Hi,
    I tried to install the essbase driver adapter on ODI, but I can't connect to Essbase using topology manager. Anyone know about essbase drivers for ODI. I used ODI 10.1.3.4.

    I don't think LOCAL will be relevant for you. You should know if you set it - it does not get set automatically.
    The above link comes from the "Oracle® Database Platform Guide 10g Release 2 (10.2) for Microsoft Windows (32-Bit)" located here:
    http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/win.102/b14304/toc.htm
    1) I assume you are installing the software on Windows - is that correct?
    2) What is the value of your PATH variable?
    3) Please post the sqlnet.ora and tnsnames.ora files from each Oracle Home. Change proprietary information if necessary.
    4) Please post the listener.ora file from the server software Oracle Home. Change proprietary information if necessary.
    Thanks,

  • Oracle Portal 3.0 Beta - problem with connection

    After finally getting a clean install of Oracle Portal 3.0 on Oracle 8.1.6 on Windows 2000, I am having problems connecting with the database when I try the PORTAL30 or PORTAL30_SSO URL. I get an error:
    "Proxy Logon Failed - please verify you have specified correct connectivity in the DAD... Error Code 6401 - DATABASE LOGIN FAILED - TNS is unable to connect to destination. Invalid TNS address or destination not listening..."
    The Oracle listener is up, the database is in the TNS names file on both Ora81 and OraPortal30 homes.
    One thing I do know is that when I configure the DADs for a user/pswd and connect string, and enter the actual Oracle password, it returns with a long series of **************** for the password, which is must longer than the actual one.
    I have hit a roadblock and would appreciate any support.

    UPDATE to the PROBLEM:
    I tried everything and then I stumbled upon something. In the Net8 configuration assistant for Oracle 8i, when I went into Naming Methods configuration, it said that I was only using Local. I added Oracle Names and tried again... SAME ERROR. RRRRRGGGHH!!! I had no trouble using SQL*Plus so what was going on!??
    Then I went to check the TNSNAMES.ORA in both the ORA8i and OraPortal30 network/admin directories. They were both exactly the same, with ORCLDEV1 (my sid) defined. Hmmm.... THEN, I looked in the directory and saw SQLNET.ORA. I compared the files in the two directories and they were DIFFERENT!!!
    The one in Ora8i had a NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES, LDAP, ONAMES, HOSTNAME).
    The one in OraPortal30 had a NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (LDAP, ONAMES).
    On a hunch, I changed the one in OraPortal30 to be the same as Ora8i.
    Then, I went to http://bwood/pls/portal30 and VOILA!!! I got the main page. I then clicked on LOGIN and got the sign-on screen. It has been working so far!!!
    I will continue to post the progress of this as we begin to convert an older OWS 2.1 application to Portal 3.0!!

  • Oracle 8.1.6 install problem

    Hello!
    When I run ./runInstaller
    Window appear and then jre hangs.
    If I try another jre- blackdown 1.1.8v1
    runInstaller froze, i.e. no any window
    appear.
    What to do?
    RedHat 6.2
    null

    I find cause of error:
    I export LC_ALL=C
    and LANG=C and installer starts.
    Now I have another problem:
    after installing jre oracle says:
    Error setting permisissions
    of file/directory
    /ora8/product/jre/1.1.8/LICENSE
    and then, if I skip install of JRE
    I have no NET8 configuration
    and database creation :(
