Oracle 8i Listener Problem

I cannot get Oracle 8i to run listener !
Since I have a PIV, I have to manually configure my listener.ora and tnsnames..
This is the information I have.
global database name: prog4sprite
databse system identifier (SID) prog4sprite
INTERNAL account password: *******
SYS account password: change_on_install
SYSTEM account password: manager
can someone help me successfully configure my LISTENER.ora file so that I can create TNSNAMES.ora from
the tool.
I have a local database and the Net8 Configurator Assistant can create "Local Name Service" but cannot
create "Listener Configuration". It crashes with jrew and generates a log and the file does not get
created. so I have to create manually.
Further Information: My oracle 8i is installed in:
c:\ora8nt
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = genius-caagpjqe)(PORT = 1521))
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC0))
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = OracleServicePROG4SPRITE) //Note I have tried putting only prog4Sprite and it
does not work.
(ORACLE_HOME = c:\ora8nt)
(SID_NAME = prog4sprite)
(SID_DESC =
(PROGRAM = extproc)
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = c:\ora8nt)
Can you please help me fix this.. Trying to install Network services does not help as this is how a
P4 works with oracle 8i!
Thanks again

I figured out how to do it.
Under Service Naming, check the box for use Oracle 8i release 8.0 Compatible identification.
Create a new database under Database Configuration Assistant.
The SID will be this database.
host name is localhost
port 1521
for the listener
host is localhost
port is 1521
both use TCP/IP
I think the key is to create a new database and use that.

Oracle 10g listener standard

Hi all,
I am trying to define Oracle 10g listener standard in my organization.
We have 60 Oracle 9i databases in an AIX node. We are planning to upgrade these database to 10g. During upgrade we want to configure the listeners according to our standard.
Now we are not using dynamic registration for Oracle 9i databases. So there are 60 seperate listeners that always try to establish connections to the database even if the database is not up. This leads to server performance problems when the applications overload the server with connection attempts when there are hundreds of processes waiting to connect.
After upgrade, we want to make all databases register with a listener for performance problems. But one listener per node can be too risky, maybe we can register a database with more than one listener.
Also, there are some reasons for shutting the listener down:
1. Cold backup
2. Apply patches
If we use only one listener per node, for cold backup we would shut down the listener and then no clients would connect to the databases.
After these explanation, I am wondering if we can mix both reducing the number of the listeners for each node and using load balance for all databases.
Do you hane any ideas, suggestions?
Thanks,
Fatma

With Oracle 10g and RMAN there is no longer any reason to be doing cold backups.
I'd run one listener per node. If this is too risky than a single database instance is also too risky and you should be investigating other high-availabilty solutions. RAC isn't always the answer.
Connection manager might also be useful in your environment.
Cheers,
Colin

HELP! Oracle FailSafe - Listener fails when adding standalone database

Well, I have a cluster of two nodes with the following specs:
(1) an Oracle 10g database each
(2) Microsoft Cluster Service (MSCS)
(3) Windows Server 2003 64-bit edition
(4) Intel Itanium Processor
(5) Oracle Failsafe 3.3.3 for Windows 2003 64-bit
The 64-bit Oracle Failsafe doesn't come with Oracle Failsafe Manager, so I used a Failsafe Manager remotely from another clustered servers. The version is also 3.3.3, but it's running on a Windows 2000 Advanced Server.
Well, after connecting to the 64-bit cluster, I added the standalone database to a Cluster Group. There are two cluster groups on the Server:
(1)"Cluster Group" (the default cluster group created by MSCS); containing an IP address, a network name, Oracle Cluster Services, and the Quorum hard drive.
(1)"ORACLE DB" A cluster gropu I created for the database; containing another IP address, a network name for the IP address, and every hard drive volumes of the database files.
The database currently resides on the Node 2 (because I created it there). I have successfully verified the database (using "Verify Standalone Database" option). BUT when I added the database into the cluster group ORACLE DB, it failed with the following message:
23 20:48:48 ** ERROR : FS-10066: Failed to start Windows service OracleOraDb10g_home1TNSListener for the Oracle Net listener
When I opened the Windows Event Viewer, apparently the Listener Service had started, but it soon "terminated unexpectedly":
At first, the Listener Service appeared to be started:
But this is what happened next; it seemed the Listener Service terminated abruptly after entering the running state for a very short time:
What happened? What should I do? What is the problem? Many thanks!
PS: the following are the messages from both Verifying Standalone Database and Adding Standalone Database. The verification was successfull, but I just failed to add the database:

Do I have to make Oracle XE listener working before I install Oracle APEX?

Hi, guys:
I have a question: Do I have to make Oracle XE listener working before I install Oracle APEX 4.2? I have installed Oracle XE 11g on windows 7, however, I got problem to run Oracle XE listener, though Oracle XE itself is running. Since my purpose is to run Oracle APEX I was wondering if I have to make Oracle XE listener working at first.
Thanks for your comments!
Sam

Hi, Jarola:
Thanks for your help! My supervisor asked us to install Oracle XE, OC4J, and APEX listener in our local PC (windows 7 64 bits). I guess his purpose is to train us to install APEX 4.2 eventually. I installed OC4J and APEX listener before without much problem; but I have difficulty to install Oracle XE on windows 7 64 bits version as so far Oracle XE only supports 32 bits windows. after I installed Oracle XE, I got these problems:
#1 the Oracle XE itself is running, but XE listener cannot work, it always reports "the Oracle OracleXETNSListener service started and then stopped, some service stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs.",
#2 It looks Oracle_home of XE conflicts with that of OC4J. I tried to set ORACLE_HOME as "C:\OC4J\oc4j_extended_101350;C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server", but OC4J cannot find config file so I cannot start OC4J. it is messed up.
#3 most of all, I was wondering if you could tell me the relationship among Oracle XE, OC4J, and APEX listener regarding installing APEX 4.2, are they all necessary to install APEX 4.2? if so, could you guide me to install these things with proper steps (say, which one should be installed first?)? any of your suggestion would be very appreciated! (I have tried two weeks without progress...)

Oracle 10g forms problem

hi
can any body help me?
i have installed oracle developer 10g with oracle 8i database
when i run any form including the test.fmx
it always ask to install JInitiator although it has been installed (appears in the control panel and in c:\program file\oracle folder)
another problem appears after completing the installtion of JInitiator
the browser views the HTML tags of the form not execute it
so does any body have any idea???

From the Windows Start menu, choose Run, type regedit, and click OK.
Expand the registry nodes HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > ORACLE.
Make a backup copy of this key by right-clicking it and selecting Export from the context menu.
Select one of the HOME nodes beneath the ORACLE node (the one for Developer Suite). Ensure that you have opened the correct node by verifying that the key FORMS90_PATH exists in that node.
From the Registry Editor menu, select Edit > New > String Value. Type in the name FORMS90_HIDE_OBR_PARAMS.
Double-click FORMS90_HIDE_OBR_PARAMS and in the Value data field enter false, then click OK.
Close the registry editor.
Now when you run a form from Forms Builder, it should show parameters, including userid, in the URL, but it should run fine.
15. Set the path for Forms Builder to locate icons:
a) Double-click the UI_ICON key to open it for editing.
b) For the value data, append the path to the .gif file that you will use for the
button icon, which is the \icons subdirectory of your lab directory. Separate this
path from the remainder of the string with a semicolon; for example:
;e:\labs\lab\icons, then click OK.

i have made one oracle 6i reports. its is quite wide.when i run the report it shrink into too small font.
and i increse it font size it by pressing + button on menu bar it looks okay.
>
The + button only causes a zoom in on the screen. It is not affecting the actual layout.
>
but the problem is that when i take print out of it ,it's printout comes in its intial format(in small font) evenif i choose different type of paper size or different orientation . it's printout is coming in too small font.
pl tell me how to overcome this problem>
The report rendering engine tries to fit the report page into the physical page size. This results in shrinking of font size,etc.
To fix
a) reduce the content on the report to something reasonable for printing.(Std paper sizes and orientation)
b) change the page size selection. Of course, you will need a printer and paper of the size you set.
Cheers,

" Starting Oracle Net Listener......." Hangs while installing vm manager

Ive taken all defaults read install guide , checked availability of ports and made sure I have libaio.
I've reinstalled on two separate machines and everytime install fails after I accept defaults. Logs don't show anything. ./oracle-xe configure is the only thing in the log.
If I run this again it fails or hangs in the same place. ?????Im not sure where the netlistener is otherwise Id try to manually install?start ?
"Starting Oracle Net Listener"

I have noticed the same thing on my install where it hangs on starting the listener. BUT. .. If you hit enter while it is hanging it will continue to the next step of starting the db. . It seems like it is waiting for some input but not displaying that on the screen. I would not suspect any input from a start listener. .This is my experience. Any others see this?

TNS Listener Problem in 8.1.6

Hi,
While trying to connect to Oracle 8.1.6 , installed on local machine (OS Windows NT 4.0), using Oracle's thin JDBC drivers I get the following error :
TNS-12500: TNS:listener failed to start a dedicated server process
TNS-12537: TNS:connection closed
My database is running in dedicated mode on the same PC where I am executing this JAVA program.
Any pointer. Any Help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.
King.

According to Oracle Error Message, action for TNS-12500 is that Check the Listener.ORA is properly been set with the Oracle Environment if not make it and stop and start the Oracle and Listener too. If we faced and we did the above and it was working perfect.

Cache and Load Balancing with Oracle APEX Listener

Hi,
I intend to use only HTTP access.
How to implement a Cache and Load Balancing with the Oracle APEX Listener?
Is it possible to do with the the standalone running APEX Listener?
Thanks by advance for any tips/documentation/references.

Hi,
I think this question is best asked in the APEX Listener forum:

Oracle 8i Listener Vulnerability

Hey
I have read about the Oracle 8i listener vulnerability that if it is not password protected then denial of service attacks can occur along with other threats as well. this can be done through the lsnrctl utility but i was thinking how can this utility be used remotely to administer the listener. because to use it someone has to be an oracle user on the operating system for example unix. can someone guide me about this

Hey
I have read about the Oracle 8i listener
vulnerability that if it is not password protectedSomeone accesses the oracle admin user on one machine and switches to another machine, often in an insecre network there will be no challenge to accessing the second machine. Thus break into one, you break into all.
This just provides another layer - ensures the listener (which, if properly configured will handle ALL databases on the machine) from being shut down without authorization.

Oracle TNS Listener password

Where do I specify the tns listener password in CF MX. I have
added a password to the oracle TNS listener service. I need to get
MX to pass this password to the oracle server. Is there a place to
do this.
cfk

Here is what I was given from our security group here at
USDOJ:
We are using 9i,
Server Product ColdFusion MX
Version 7,0,2,142559
Edition Enterprise
Serial Number
Operating System Windows 2003
OS Version 5.2
Description:
A Oracle TNS Listener has been detected on the host with
login security disabled (SECURITY=OFF).
Observation:
Oracle is an enterprise level database which is available on
many different platforms.
A configuration vulnerability exists within the Oracle TNS
Listener which allows remote unauthenticated access. The TNS
Listener accepts a clients request and establishes a TNS
(Transparent Network Substrate) data connection between the client
and the service. A TNS connection allows clients and servers to
communicate over a network via a common API, regardless of the
network protocol used on either end (TCP/IP, IPX, etc). A default
installation of the TNS listens on TCP port 1521.
Vulnerable Systems:
Oracle 8i
Oracle 9i
Recommendation:
It is recommended to only allow certain IP's or subnet ranges
to access the TNS listener. This can be done by adding a rule in
the firewall. We also recommend that you enable a password for the
TNS listener within Oracle
